Hello,

One annoying issue I'm having with iTunes Match is that when I start the Music app on my iPhone 4S and select and play a song that's stored in the cloud, sometimes one or two other songs start downloading as well. I can see this by either the square & circle downloading icon appearing next to other songs, or by going to iTunes > More > Downloads and seeing their download progress there.

Like I'll stream one song on my iPhone, maybe not even all the way through, and then later I'll go to Settings > General > Usage and scroll down to Music and there will be 18MB or 30MB or something worth of songs on my iPhone. I only ever selected one song, and suddenly these other ones just want to start downloading by themselves, usually from the same album. My phone is 16GB and I like to conserve space on it so its kind of annoying having to keep deleting songs I never played.

Was just wondering if anyone else was experiencing this at all? Thanks.
